Telematics for OEMs beyond fleet management
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 | 8 a.m. CST
For a long time, telematics was associated with fleet management, and the benefits of such machine data were more visible to the end customer, the machine owner. However, in today's digital age, machine manufacturers can also use this data. In our presentation, we want to show how OEMs can use an advanced telematics solution to improve their existing operations and customer experience or even develop entirely new business models. We will show some practical examples of how OEMs are already using them today.
Meet Emerging Safety Standards for Mobile Machinery with Smart Sensor Solutions
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 | 10 a.m. CST
As the off-highway industry continues to evolve, it is crucial for companies to stay up-to-date with new technologies and changing customer demands. Sensors are an integral component in many mobile off-highway equipment systems. Emerging machine standards such as EN280 and functional safety standards like SIL2/PLd will increase the necessity of various sensors in future machine designs. These devices can be used to measure angle, inclination, mechanical load, distance and more – all of which is necessary for ensuring the safe operation of a machine.
During this webinar, experts from Baumer will discuss the standards coming to the off-highway equipment market and how sensors can be used to ensure compliance with those standards. In addition, they will offer insight into the use of sensors for capturing data and automating processes to reach a higher level of autonomy, with boom and bucket trucks used as an example machine application. As a leader in the mobile machines market, Baumer has a deep understanding of the demanding environments and are excited to share their expertise with you.
Topic Highlights Includes
-
Safety compliance: Learn of new emerging technologies to help you be compliant with emerging machine and safety standards, including, EN280, EN13849, and PLd/SIL2.

You’re reliant on your fleet management solutions working, so the connectivity behind it needs to be reliable, too. Join floLIVE Americas SVP Curtis Govan to learn more about how to ensure connectivity delivers on its promise to promote efficiency, profitability, compliance, and more through:
-
High availability that moves with your solutions
-
Seamless network switching with no coverage gaps
-
Single SKU connectivity for simplified logistics and management
Smart Electrification of Hydraulic Controls
Wednesday, Nov. 6, 2024 | 2 p.m. CST
In the off-highway industry over the last several decades, Thomas created a standard with the hydraulic pilot valve with slip-in cavity. As electrohydraulic pilot control has become more or less a standard in the market, Thomas now has new actuation technology that has the potential to become the second wave of smart electrification of hydraulic control valves. Thomas's new electromechanical actuation technology allows for the elimination of the hydraulic pilot completely, which results in no influence of viscosity changes and contamination. OEMs can upgrade their existing, less-sophisticated hydraulic applications without needing expensive load sense hydraulic valves. In this session, attendees will learn how this approach offers an easier transition to electrification while still having traditional hydraulic controls.
